Broadway

Every inch of New York is filled with music. You'll hear pop songs blasting from speakers on pedicabs, solo singing and instrumentalizing ringing through subway stations, muzak drifting out from the doors of bars and shops, and of course, live music of all genres filling up the city's many theatres and concert halls.

Santino Fontana, Judy Kuhn, Julia Lester, and more star in one of the first major revivals of *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* since its Broadway premiere in 1962. Get *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* tickets now to see these stage favorites in this limited-time Off-Broadway production.

The *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* musical follows Harry Bogen, a shipping clerk in 1937 New York. He has career ambitions far beyond his little piece of the Garment District, and he'll do anything, however dishonest, to anyone, however close, to get ahead and stay there.

Bogen may be the show's main character, but *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* is perhaps even better known for the small role of Miss Marmelstein, which gave Barbra Streisand her Broadway debut (and first Tony Award nomination) back in 1962. Now, Julia Lester, a 2023 Tony nominee for *Into the Woods*, takes on that role, alongside Tony winner Fontana (*Tootsie*) as Harry and four-time Tony nominee Kuhn (*Fun Home*, *She Loves Me*) as Mrs. Bogen.

Following the show's Broadway debut, the next major New York revival wasn't until 1991, when the American Jewish Theatre staged *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* off Broadway with Evan Pappas, Carolee Carmello, and Vicki Lewis. The 2023 production, presented off Broadway by Classic Stage Company, is the first Off-Broadway revival since then.

This production features songs by Harold Rome and a book by John Weidman, revised from the original by his father, Jerome Weidman. The elder Weidman also wrote the 1937 novel *I Can Get It For You Wholesale*, on which the musical is based, and co-won a Pulitzer Prize for the musical *Fiorello!*

Don't wait for someone to get them for you — get tickets to *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* in New York now.

I Can Get It For You Wholesale - NYC - NYTG

Last seen on Broadway in 1962, this classic musical follows an ambitious Garment District worker who will do anything underhanded to get to the top. See the rare Off-Broadway revival featuring stage favorites including Santino Fontana, Judy Kuhn, and Julia Lester.

*I Can Get It For You Wholesale* began as a 1937 novel by Weidman, and it was turned into a film before becoming a musical. The Broadway production debuted in 1962 and ran for 300 performances. The show has rarely appeared in New York since, though — the last major production was in 1991, presented by the American Jewish Theatre and starring Evan Pappas and Carolee Carmello.

Classic Stage Company now presents *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* off Broadway, with a cast of stage favorites. Fontana is known for his Tony-winning lead performance in the *Tootsie* musical, Lester earned a 2023 Tony nomination for her breakout *Into the Woods* performance, and Kuhn is a four-time nominee for *Fun Home*, *She Loves Me*, *Chess*, and *Les Misérables*.

## What to watch for

- The 1962 Broadway premiere of *I Can Get It For You Wholesale* marked the debut of a then-unknown Barbra Streisand as Miss Marmelstein.
- It's a family affair! Jerome Weidman wrote the musical's book, and his son John Weidman revised it for this production.
- The original *Wholesale* novel was Jerome Weidman's first full-length book.
- In the 1951 film, the main character was changed to fashion designer Harriet Boyd, instead of businessman Harry Bogen, so Susan Hayward could star.
- Young men's ambition-to-a-fault is a popular theme of classic musicals. Other famous examples include J. Pierrepont Finch in *How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying* and the title character in *Pal Joey* (which is getting a limited-run Encores! revival during *Wholesale*'s run).

The classic musical returns to the stage for a rare revival since its 1962 premiere. See Santino Fontana, Judy Kuhn, Julia Lester, and more in the story of a 1937 Garment District worker who will do anything, however dishonest, to make it to the top.

It’s incredible that the cultural legacy of [*I Can Get It For You Wholesale*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/28275-i-can-get-it-for-you-wholesale-tickets) — the 1962 musical by Jerome Weidman (book) and Harold Rome (music and lyrics), loosely based on Weidman’s novel — is fairly limited to the fact that it marked Barbra Streisand's Broadway debut. It seems particularly ironic given that the show’s primary thematic anxiety is legacy itself, situated in the context of a world hostile to Jews.

The first scene depicts protagonist Harry Bogen (Santino Fontana) looking back at his younger self being bullied by an anti-Semite. When he returns home, something about the experience, and the fact that little besides his mother (Judy Kuhn) and her cooking comfort him, fuels a fire that will soon overwhelm him. 

In Trip Cullman’s new production at [Classic Stage Company](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/classic-stage-company), Harry is as ambitious an entrepreneur as almost anyone on the stage these days, making deals to start businesses before he has the funds — and selling out his friends along the way. That the actors don their final accessories as they first enter makes it easy to imagine that everyone could have gotten ready entirely on stage, the audience watching them transform. Because that’s what Harry wants: transformation.

He’ll buy his mother mink stoles and, in his pursuit to make his dress company a fashion giant, butter up buyers with caviar and champagne. He truly wants to reenvision himself as a bright star in the firmament of the American Dream. *Wholesale* casts him as a proto-Talented Mr. Ripley in the way he wants to use charm offensive to get what he wants, while maintaining a more agreeable guise.

He’s a scammer, robbing one friend to pay another, playing with family friend Ruthie’s (Rebecca Naomi Jones) heart while succumbing to equally materialistic actress Martha Mills (Joy Woods). But, as his spending fails to add up, the world starts to close in on Harry's dreams of having it all.

Weidman’s book (now revised by his son, John Weidman) and Rome’s score often seem at odds with each other, and the show's intended tone is frequently unclear. While the show is increasingly aware of Bogen’s dubiousness, there’s a jovial quality to the music that doesn’t gel with the seriousness of a story about misplaced racial and class trauma fueling cutthroat ambition.

That *Wholesale* ties itself to Jewish families also serves as an obstacle for a more coherent show. Is it that American industrialism and modernity and Jewish family values are incompatible? Or that Harry simply abandoned those values to assimilate? Regardless, Fontana nails the desperation of wanting to escape where you came from and making that desire work overtime, but he is less charming than hoped. If the character succeeds in convincing everyone (until he can’t) that he’s trustworthy, Harry’s all-consuming drive papers over his appeal.

Conversely, Woods is the show’s icon. Every time she sets foot on stage, you hope the gold dust from her stardom rubs off on you. In “The Sound of Money” alone, Woods, with her gorgeous wingspan and blinding seductive appeal, makes the trip to the theatre worth every cent.
